I was going to pick up some chicks from a hatchery in Ohio, but they said it was against Ohio law to sell quantities of fewer than six, one day old chicks. Does anyone know if this is true, and what the basis of this law would be?

Meyer Hatchery in Ohio will sell less than 6 day old chicks in an order. We were going to get 4 this past spring, but I decided to buy from a local farm friend instead. Look under the Small Order Program information.

Hi everyone,
I've had chickens for a over a year now and all of my family thinks it really cool. My sister in Beavercreek Ohio is interested in getting into chickens for the pet/egg factors. I see from your posts that you can't purchase less than six, so does that mean it is legal to have them? I've been trying to look up the bylaws there but am getting nowhere. Can any of you help?
